Old Maps of Earl Shilton

Historic Map of Earl Shilton

Hand-drawn in 1886 by Ordnance Survey

Frith's Ordnance Survey Maps

In 1791 the Board of Ordnance established a body to survey Britain; the
first 1-inch map, which showed Kent, was produced in 1801. The other
counties of the United Kingdom followed. These first-edition maps
were updated as the Victorian age progressed; new roads and

railways were added, and major new buildings such as factories,
gas and water works marked. It is from these enhanced 6-inch maps
that the Frith Ordnance Survey maps have been created.

This Historic Map of Earl Shilton was hand-drawn in 1886 by
the cartographers of the Ordnance Survey.

Packed with fascinating finely-reproduced detail, look out for your
house if it was built at the time, or its site if it wasn't.

Printed to your order in crisp black and white, our maps feature a
compass rose and decorative scale border and can be supplied ready to hang.
